About Tour Guide Kahori M.
Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors.
Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers.
I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

“Outstanding and Fun!”
Kahori was excellent. Deeply knowledgeable, patient and made the trip informative, fun, and better than if we went on our own.

Thank you for choosing Hiroshima for your family's memorable trip. It's wonderful to meet someone who worked on OS2! It's always a pleasure to be with such a lovely family. Kahori

“Kahori was fantastic! ”
Kahori was our guide for this half day tour. She was accommodating and friendly as she navigated us to the right place. We got lost and she was willing to meet us and at a new destination convenient for us. She took us to Miyajima and was incredibly knowledgeable about the shrine and history of the island. She encouraged us to try local dishes and pointed out her favorites. She then dropped us off at the Peace Park with a bit of history as well. I highly recommend this tour with Kahori!
Kahori M.
Thank you for your warm comments. It was an honor to be able to join your family trip. Spending time with such a close-knit family is always enjoyable. Please come to Japan again sometime! Kahori

“Perfect Balance of Darkness and Light ”
Had a positively excellent experience with Kahori. She was an incredible guide who managed and thought of every last detail while being highly communicative through it all. She was so thoughtful - bringing us a gift for our honeymoon and even packing extra umbrellas in case we forgot ours when it rained. She was incredibly cognizant of our time constraints and was working hard to make sure we stayed on schedule. Ultimately we decided to move our train time back because we felt there was so much to cover and wanted to continue to learn more from Kahori. She went above and beyond - giving us two extra hours of her time so we would not feel rushed while learning about the devastation of Hiroshima. She even took a cab with us to the train station to ensure we had no issues getting on our train. I’ve never had a more caring guide! She was also wonderfully adaptable. When she learned we loved oysters she brought us to a great local oyster shop. In addition to the care and careful planning she showed us - she was just a joy to spend time with. She was very knowledgeable about current events and we found it interesting to discuss the different politics of our countries. Cannot recommend her enough. We hope to come back to Japan and hope to get to see Kahori again!

Hiroshima: A journey of memory, Resilience and Peace
If you are visiting Hiroshima to learn about peace, I truly hope you will experience something deeper than simply walking through the Peace Memorial Museum. Hiroshima is not only a place of tragedy, but also a city of resilience, compassion, and recovery. On this tour, I will take you not only to the famous landmarks, but also to special hidden places —such as Schmoe House—places that reveal the lesser-known stories of Hiroshima and make your experience truly personal and unforgettable.
